When will Windows 10 Mobile reach the rest of us?

It's been a long wait for Lumia users stuck with Windows Phone 8.1 on their handsets: the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade was supposed to arrive before the Christmas holidays but then got pushed back to the start of 2016.

Right now the mobile OS is only available on the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL handsets. A variety of bugs and issues have been reported that are linked to software updates, which could be the reason Microsoft is holding back on letting other Lumia users download it.

What you'll need

That 12 January date may or may not be accurate, but it seems to fit with the official comments that have come from Redmond so far. Among the changes is a new browser in the form of Microsoft Edge, an app we've already seen in the desktop version of Windows 10.
